Musical Tension Between Baroque and Modern

The program relies on strong contrasts: Bach represents architectural clarity and Baroque organ art, Messiaen brings rich colors and spiritual intensity, Alain offers fine rhythmic friction, and Rimsky-Korsakov provides symphonic expansiveness. This is precisely where the appeal of a matinee lies: condensed orchestration on the organ, clear synchronization of hands and feet, and a live atmosphere that makes every registration audible.

A Young Organist with Character

Elizaveta Suslova is nationally recognized as a concert organist, blending organ, piano, and harpsichord playing with a repertoire that is especially rooted in the Baroque. Previous announcements and portraits describe her as a young organist from Brandenburg an der Havel, trained at the University of the Arts Berlin and among renowned teachers like Henry Fairs. For Bayreuth, this means a performance with technical control, musical precision, and a sense of dramatic arcs.
